Abstract: In this research paper the researcher have tried to articulate the training evaluation and its

effectiveness towards the training methods and techniques of employees of corporate sector in Marathwada

region. Training evaluation techniques is collection of data from the employees and evaluation techniques can be

categorized in numerous means. This research paper tried to explore the use of training evaluation methods in

industries specifically in manufacturing industry.

Keywords: Training methods, Training techniques, Training evaluation

I. INTRODUCTION

“Training needs can be identified by deducting the existing skills from the job requirements”. Training is a

performance development process to foster learning new techniques and methods to perform job with fullest

efficiency and effectiveness. Successful training and development program assist the strategic requirement of the

organization and also satisfies the individual needs of the people working in it. Effective training programs also

help the employees to concentrate on their individual career development, which ultimately assists to achieve

organizational short and long run objectives.

According to Lina Vyas (2004)1, evaluation is the most important means to determine the effectiveness of

training, however, other factors — including transfer of learning, ability of the trainer to deliver and trainees to

absorb, ability of the institute and the trainers to recognize the needs and properly address them, and adequate

matching of training package to trainees requirements — also have an influence on the effectiveness of training.

According to Huque A.S and Vyas L (2008)2, training effectiveness may be assessed by considering the results or

evaluation, performance of the trainees and their ability to transfer techniques to their jobs. Training

effectiveness can also be a function of trainee characteristics, training design and contextual factors (Scaduto

Anne, Lindsay Douglas & Chiabur S. Dan, 2008)3. Many organizations are reconsidering their investments in

human resource practices such as training as they begin to recognize that the knowledge, skills, and

competencies of their employees give them an advantage that is difficult for competitors to imitate.

Training effectiveness refers to the process that occurs before, during, and after training to improve the

likelihood that it will have an impact4. The types of outcomes used to evaluate training programs have since been

expanded to include cognitive, affective, and motivational outcomes.

Affective and motivational outcomes include post- training self-efficacy, customer service attitudes, tolerance for

diversity, team commitment and willingness to participate in future training programs. Cognitive outcomes

include technical vitality and contextual knowledge. The real value of training may come not from individual

learning but rather from having employees interact and share ideas that improve manufacturing, service, and

interdepartmental processes.

Training effectiveness refers to the benefits that the company and the trainees receive from training. Benefits

for training may include learning new skills or behaviour. Benefits for the company may include increased sales

and more satisfied customers. A training evaluation measures specific outcomes or criteria to determine the

benefits of the program.

Training outcomes or criteria refer to measures that the trainer and the company use to evaluate training

programs.

Training evaluation refers to the process of collecting the outcomes needed to determine whether training is

effective

Training Evaluation

Evaluation of training effectiveness is the most critical phase in not only assessing thequality of training

imparted but also to see what future changes in training plan should bemade to make it more effective. The

process has both predictive and regulative value.

Training evaluation would also provide vital insights into the existing systems andprocedures prevailing in the

organization. There are not much of consensus amongcorporate managers on how to determine the value of

training. The onus of the TrainingDepartment is to document its efforts and clearly show that it provides a

valuable service to the entire organization.

It is an investment in employee’s productivity and retention by providing for career progression and employees

job satisfaction over the long time. Therefore, the organisation needs to know whether their investment is being

spent effectively or not. For this continuous evaluation, training and development is necessary. Evaluation of

training and development means assessment of the impact of training on trainee’s performance and behavior.

Purpose of Evaluation

Training assessment is completed for an extensive variety of purposes, which can be ordered by and large fewer

than four fundamental headings:

• To enhance the nature of the training preparation as far as the delivery, e.g. mentor, strategies, length of

preparing, the preparation destinations, content, level

• To survey the viability of the general course, coach, training techniques

• To legitimize the course demonstrate that the advantages exceed the expenses

• To legitimize the part of training for spending purposes, in reduction circumstances

Reasons for evaluating Training

Training evaluation4 provides a way to understand the investments that the training produces and provides

information needed to improve training5.

If the company receives an inadequate return on its investment in training, the company will likely reduce its

investment in training or look for training providers outside the company who can provide training experiences

that improve performance, productivity, customer satisfaction, or whatever other outcomes the company is

interested in achieving.

Training evaluation provides the data needed to demonstrate that training does offer benefits to the company.

There can be three specific reasons to evaluate training:

1. To justify the existence and budget of the training department by showing how it contributes to the

organization’s objectives and goals.

2. To decide whether to continue or discontinue the training program.

3. To gain information on how to improve future training programs.

Training program should be evaluated to determine whether they should be continued or else if cost

compensates the benefits, the program should be discontinued or modified.

The most common reason for evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of a program and ways in which it can

be improved. Usually, the decision to continue it has already been made. The question then is, how can it be

improved? We can consider following eight factors:

1. To what extent does the subject content meet the needs of those attending?

2. Is the leader, the one best qualified to teach?

3. Does the leader use the most effective methods for maintaining interest and teaching the desired attitudes,

knowledge, and skills?

4. Are the facilities satisfactory?

5. Is the schedule appropriate for the participants?

6. Are the aids effective in improving communication and maintaining interest?

7. Was the coordination of the program satisfactory?

8. What else can be done to improve the program?

A careful analysis of the answers to these questions can identify ways and means of improving future offerings

of the program. In most of the organizations, both large and small, there is little pressure from top management

to prove that the benefits of training compensate the cost. Many managers at high levels are too busy worrying

about profits, return on investments, stock prices etc. they pay little or no attention to training unless they hear

bad things about it.

II. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

1. To study different methods and techniques for evaluation of the employee training.

2. To study effectiveness of methods and techniques for evaluation of the employee training.

Population

Population of this study includes the employees of the selected companies in the large scale industries i.e.

manufacturing sector in Marathwada region only.

Sample Size

Total no. of employees selected is 500. Sample is being selected through Convenience sampling.

Hypotheses Testing

H1: Questionnaire, Interview and Observation method are more effective than Self-dairies and Self- recording

incident for measuring the training effectiveness.

H2:Evaluation is not based on single method but on a variety of method.

III LITERATURE REVIEW

Plameta, Myers, Gyarmati and Voyer (2011)7 , assessment does not capacity that whether or not education

application works in an enterprise but additionally which education application is exceptionally suitable to the

specific wants and which personnel should be nominated for it under prevailing unique circumstances. The

extent to which the interplay between design and delivery and worker abilities and wishes the more effectiveness

it has. In the absence of education evaluation, one cannot reach to the consequence degree that whether or not

goal has been accomplished or no longer or used to be training program and whether profitable or not? Without

assessment it is not viable to justify the investment in training program. It is the cyclical method and

effectiveness is a part of efficiency. Evaluation is quality way to locate out the effectiveness. It is a non-stop

process, it finds out the purpose.

William J.Rothwell(2010)8The summation of book is an action manual for reinventing the training department

by placing a new emphasis on the myriad ways by which human performance may be enhanced in organizational

setting. The book unlocks the extraordinary potential of Human Performance Enhancement (HPE) which

focuses on how to build a convincing business case for change and assess the competencies the employees need

in their expanded role. It will gather information on the current level of performance in an organization

therefore it will be able to clarify present and future performance gaps and identify the underlying causes of a

performance gap the most important and difficult step in HPE with a focus on both fixing problems and seizing

previously undetected performance enhancement opportunities.

Patricia Pulliam Philips (2017)9The author has enlightened about the evaluation of training program to provide

learning professional a tool to which they can refer as they move forward with measurement and evaluation.

Each step in the training evaluation process is addressed by experts from corporate, non–profit government

entities, and academic institutions, as well as those experts who work with a broad range of organizations.

Measurement and evaluation of training has a place among the critical issues in the learning and development

field.

importance given by organization as pursued by the employees.

To find out where the difference lack, we referred to frequency distribution table and it can see that Feedback

has a major frequency count of 364, followed by Observation = 352 and Questionnaire = 340.

Hence the hypotheses Organisation give more importance to Observation, Feedback and Questionnaire or

other methods and techniques used for evaluation of the employee training survey proved positive.

Method /techniques used in training evaluation

There is a correlation between the Training evaluation and Training effectiveness. Training effectiveness is

measured by applying the proper training evaluation methods for the concerned training program. There are

various methods of training evaluation where assessment of the employee performance is measured and it is

done with the collection of the data, which mostly comprises of their feedback of the training program. Now to

understand the effectiveness of the training evaluation methods detailed aspects have been asked to employees

about the effective factors of the training evaluation methods.

incident for measuring the training effectiveness.

Determination: To study the impact of Training evaluation method on Training effectiveness.

Statistical Test: Independent Sample T-test variable and Measurement

Independent variable – Training methods

The following training methods were offered to employees and were asked to choose the training method

adopted by the organization for evaluation.

Each method was measured using dichotomous scale (1= Yes, 2= No) Hence each independent variable is a

categorically variable and well suited for an experimental design

Conclusion

From the above frequency table it is seen that Feedback has a frequency count of 364, Observation is 352,

Questionnaire is 340 , Performance records is 302, Interview is 265, Survey is 248, Test is 237, Focus group

discussion is 192, and Case studies is 157 .

Hence it can be concluded that the top three most preferred training evaluation method by organization in

Marathwada region are a) Feedback b) Observation and c) Questionnaire. It is also interested to note that Self-

dairies , Self –recording of specific incidents and Case studies are least preferred methods.

V CONCLUSION

So far results are concerned, an efficient evaluation is essential for discovering the commitment of training to

hierarchical objectives and furthermore to build the viability of future projects. Evaluation is anyway

troublesome in light of the fact that no sensational change is obvious in short run.

We can say that, the advancement of training information, aptitudes and skills can be resolved through the

questionnaire techniques. On the off chance that regulated quickly previously or after the projects it will

demonstrate the degree to which individuals have profited. An item by item analysis of the two rundown results

will likewise recognize the quality and shortcoming of the course layout. Since training is being a focused thing,

there are lots of efforts, time and money is been invested in it by the organizations, which leads to effective

evaluation of the post training methods and their effectiveness.
